FLASHPOINT for Oct 13, 2006

Jack Carter is excited. And it's hard to blame him: His opponent, Sen. John Ensign, has agreed to debate him Sunday on KLAS Channel 8. Right before "60 Minutes." A prime slot. The Carter folks are having a rally beforehand and they are even doing journalists a huge favor, according to a Carter release. Following the debate, "the Carter campaign will provide three experts to analyze the debate for journalists. They are U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV), campaign coordinator Terry O'Connell, and campaign manager Richard Fitzpatrick." So the Democrat is providing a Democratic congresswoman and two of his own campaign people to help us journalists figure out what happened? Now that is funny.
